I love being able to run containers and VMs on the same system and assign their data and permissions easily. > > **Cons**: While the documentation and guides are great and extensive, it still has a high learning curve that can be difficult for new users to get into. There are some hypervisor functionally currently missing that might get added in the future. > > TrueNAS Scale allowed me to consolidate my whole homelab environment into one single, high performing machine that is robust and scalable to my needs. ----- ### "TrueNAS review" — 5.0/5 > **M** | *29 September 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Really good NAS OS, have the control over everything. ZFS pool is great for our usage and the capabilities of creating docker within TrueNAS is a plus > > **Cons**: Can be hard to understand how TrueNAS works at the beginning. You have to prepare yourself before starring with it ----- ### "Flexibility to create your own solution" — 5.0/5 > **Brian** | *7 August 2022* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We use TrueNAS to maximize the value of our existing datacenter hardware into new storage solutions. While there is a still a place for Nimble and 3Par, TrueNAS gives us the flexibility we need to create data pools from our un used physical inventory for staging, deployment, backup, or other various activities with the datacenter. > > **Cons**: ZFS, is a core technology that I use to build flexible arrays. When we tested drive failures we found that we needed to plan for additional time in when resilvering the array. We found TrueNAS performance in this area to meet the standards we expect. For the uninitiated this could be undesirable. ----- ### "TrueNAS CORE to TrueNAS Scale" — 5.0/5 > **Les** | *8 August 2022* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: You can use it as a simple NAS with ZFS for data integrity, ir you can use it for virtualization and containerization (Scale). Especially useful in small or home offices, and indispensable for the IT admin at home. > > **Cons**: Older versions were daunting, as the GUI wasn't intuitive. However, TrueNAS Core/Scale received a new GUI in 2022. Creating ZFS storage arrays, building virtual machines, and spinning up containers are a snap\! > > I used FreeNAS from 2010 to 2022 in my home lab. I've run a test lab at a former employer from 2015-2017. In 2022 with the release of TrueNAS Scale, I switched to gain the benefits of beter virtualization, and the ability to run containers. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2048361/truenas-core?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/2048361/truenas-core) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | ----- ## Structured Data
